Not as bad as some of the reviews would lead you to believe, but not very good either.

It was ok.

Venom's dialogue was very bad, not Lucas Prequel bad, but bad just the same.

The special effects would have looked dated 10 years ago.

Really Amazing!

This movie must be seen in IMAX!

Feels like you are there, ...in the module with the sound system shaking the room, it's like you feel the rocket. On the moon, incredible, silent, eerie.

Beautifully made. Gosling doesn't try and make Armstrong into something more than he is, a driven, damaged man, trying to hold himself together by setting astounding goals.

I only rated it down a point, because I feel the experience might lose some impact when not seen in IMAX.

I did like one thing.. they did portray the nuts and bolts rust buckets these guys risked their lives in very well.You really felt like s#!t could go wrong at any time.It was actually scary.
The thing that bothered me most.. everything was shot close up.Everything, and it negated those great claustrophobic scenes IMO.

Terribly goofy comedy ruins what could have been a fun action movie. If they just kept the goofiness at a minimum and only to Scot Lang it wouldv'e worked, instead there's goofiness from Scot's kid, ex-wife & husband, friends/business partners, and from scenarios throughout the movie. Very off key and disappointing.

Sicario 2 - 6.5/10 It's a good movie, but it failed to give Benicio Deltoro any badass scenes or sequences, unlike the first film. That's what made the first one so cool. It was the reason he stole the first film and why people wanted a sequel with him as the main character. Now, Rambo 5 actually has a shot to succeed where Sicario 2 failed.

I like the premise of it, and I thought the direction was done well and at an hour and a half is probably the perfect amount of time to tell this kind of story without dragging it on.

Christine: 9 out of 10- A masterpiece.
John f'n Carpenter managed to make a fantastic movie from something that in lesser hands could've been so bad that it was laughable. A demonic car that kills people is ridiculous but John Carpenter managed to make it believable and scary with some amazing images, editing, effects and music. The actors are also really good here. The only thing holding this back from a 10 is the somewhat by the numbers plot with the final encounter.

The Conjuring 2: 4 out of 10- The first was alright, this one is terrible by comparison.
Jump scares, bad horror movie editing, too elaborate of a plot for a ghost movie, and bad modern effects. The cinematography was serviceable and the acting was good though, I can't fault the actors.

Silver Bullet: 5 out of 10- Not as good as I remembered it as a kid.
The acting is the best thing here with Gary Busey carrying the whole movie by himself. Corey Haim is not great, but I liked Everett McGrill and Megan Follows. The effects can be good but the full Werewolf at the end was shown too much and just looked bad. The worse part is the writing, directing and the unnecessary narration.

Yeah, I think it's easy for people to lose sight of just how rock solid a self-contained trilogy the Captain America films are due to the larger Avengers and "20 film MCU" narratives. Having the same two writers for all three Caps really give them some great cohesion when watched together. The Bucky arc, "I can do this all day" CW payoff, etc. Great stuff.

All IMO:

The running time is bloated and long.

Crossbones gets killed off too early on.

Tony is at his least likable, tied only with IM2 for the worst portrayal of his character in the MCU. He puts Peter Parker, a boy not much older than the child who died during the Sokovia incident whom was Tony's whole motivation for wanting the Avengers put in government check, in terrible danger.

Wanda X Vision is cringey and weighs down both of their characters into only their second appearance.

The great Cap, Bucky, and Black Panther scenes don't get enough time.

Everything with General Ross is boring and dragged out.

We get cheated out of a Winter Soldier vs. more Winter Soldiers battle.

That being said, I do acknowledge that CW is still a very well made and well shot film, but I just thought it was too much of the same old same old at the end of the day. If I want great Avengers movies I can watch the original and IW, and if I want great Cap movies I can watch TFA and TWS. I don't want a Phase Three trailer.

It's fine. Since SNIKT and myself were the only two active CW "haters" on this board, it felt like you might have been referring to myself or him. The way I understand it, a contrarian is someone who disagrees with the public solely for the sake of disagreement which would accurately describe the latter, but since I had gone over why I didn't like the film numerous times it just felt a little... odd.

While I did feel rather fatigued after my first viewing of CW in the theatre, the good news is that Marvel has always managed to pull me back in (I.E, Doctor Strange came directly after CW which renewed my faith in Marvel and as much as I wanted to boycott them after Thor 3 they won me back again with Black Panther and Infinity War). :)

I could see how a diehard Iron Man/Stark fan could be put off by his portrayal in CW since he's basically on the side that is "wrong." I wasn't bothered by him recruiting Peter though. For one he's a superhero that Stark saw was fully capable of holding his own in danger and two Cap isn't Ultron. I think that Stark fully expected Cap to stand down and even if he did imagine things getting physical he had no reason to believe that Cap would ever hurt or kill an innocent child. So I guess it's good that that jet bridge didn't end up crushing Peter after Steve nonchalantly said see ya later, lol.

I've actually gone and looked up contrarian in the online dictionary :lol

noun
a person who takes an opposing view, especially one who rejects the majority opinion, as in economic matters.

By that definition alone it was safe for me to use the word - however, I will hand it to you - in practice the word is often used with a dismissive tone, with the implication that the ''contrarian's'' viewpoint has no possible merit and is only held 'to look cool/for the mere sake of disagreement' as you put it - so I shouldn't have been surprised by someone taking it that way.

Since CW is not an immensely disliked movie around these parts it was possible for me to infer your questions as potentially being directed at myself given that SNIKT was the only other person here who really didn't like it and since he was banned. I'm used to hearing "contrarian" in the more dismissive tone which is why I got a little defensive... Plus anything written over the internet can be read in any voice.

Yeah Khev. I look forward to casually dismissing whatever explanation you have for not continuing to embrace the original Avengers movie like the rest of us do.

As for SNIKT - it seemed to me like he couldn't settle for anything less than Avengers flat-out murdering eachother - to me that would have been stupid. The disagreement about the accords was not a justifiable reason to actually kill anyone - the other issue then became Tony wanting to kill Bucky because Bucky killed his parents - that and only that would have been understandable motivation for anyone to go that far - and dammit Tony tried. He simply failed - because of Cap. Cap defending his parent's killer. That's the Civil War, that's the divide. No actual death was necessary.

Now, the one thing I thought was a bit of a cop-out was Rhodes so-called paralysis. They could have at least waited to the next film to reveal that that was fixable.

What was really odd about SNIKT is that he would sing the praises for Batman v. Superman but bash Civil War when most of the things he held against the latter could be argued against the former. I guess maybe he gave BvS the runner's up because they killed off Superman? Either that or SNIKT was just a mega troll.

Dammit, the 4 times I've seen Infinity War hasn't been enough for me to quite remember what the original dialogue was in that moment :lol

Star-Lord just goes off on Thanos before turning his gun on Gamora and then goes speechless when the bubbles comes out. Thanos says "I like you" and then disappears through the portal, lol.

Yeah Khev. I look forward to casually dismissing whatever explanation you have for not continuing to embrace the original Avengers movie like the rest of us do.

:lol

My love for the MCU is perfectly balanced. Too much praise on one side...

As for SNIKT - it seemed to me like he couldn't settle for anything less than Avengers flat-out murdering eachother - to me that would have been stupid.

Totally. :lol

Now, the one thing I thought was a bit of a cop-out was Rhodes so-called paralysis. They could have at least waited to the next film to reveal that that was fixable.

Well I wasn't 100% convinced that he'd be back to 100% so I guess they did a good enough job fooling me, lol.

I think it was just too dark and devoid of Hope that I just did not know how to process it.

As an adult I find this to be easily the best film based on Clive Barker's writtings and the film is slowly moving its way into my top 20 horror movies of all time.

The Ring Two (2005) - 5.5/10

A very average thriller that commits the cardinal sin of not ever actually being scary or even particularly suspenseful. What I did enjoy about it was the nice cinematography and an always great performance by Naomi Watts and more importantly I simply liked how they brought closure to the "lore" that was established in the original. So while it was a pretty flat visceral experience from beginning to almost end I did find it satisfying enough by the time the credits rolled.

Just watched this also, thought the story was meh and kind of boring tbh. 4/10

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald - 7/10

Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by this one. After all the negative reviews I was expecting a dumpster fire. Especially after the first one which I hated. Felt like a pointless, meandering cash grab.

But unlike the first film which was pretty much a silly waste of time that didn't quite manage to justify its own existence; at least this one seemed to have a story to tell. I still think that 5 films is a bit much for this series. And the character development and worldbuilding are sloppy at best. And ironically the "fantastic beasts" related plotlines still remain the weakest plot elements. But overall I actually thought that they did some interesting things with the characters in this one and found myself looking forward to the sequel.

The highlight is Jude Law's Dumbledore; who while slightly underused, came off as a genuinely interesting character.

Major letdown. Almost a pound-for-pound remake of Rocky IV, but with a sillier, less believable motivation to fight. Character development is also a fraction of what it was in the previous film.

FBAWTFT 2 : The Crimes of Grindewald.
8/10

This was a solid 7:10 for most of the film. The last 10 minutes sealed the deal to push it into 8 territory. I was quite surprised. This is a companion film to the first one, which now is obviously a character “intro” film.

They crammed ALOT into this film, I am pretty sure the general audience will be lost for alot of the best plot lines. But for the Potterheads, its a feast of story.

I liked the first one, which was saved in the last 15 minutes or so. These are absolutely character driven films, which is a nice change from what we get these days (MCU excluded).

The dance numbers are incredible , and can be appreciated by anyone once you realize they were mostly done on a single shot.

Even if your not a song and dance person, they story of Veterans helping Veterans and the reluctant love story carry this film. Its a long film, but you will get a great laugh and a nice jolt of the Christmas spirit!

Aquaman

2.5 Stars

Romancing the Raiders of the Ocean Lion King.

Willem Dafoe rides a Hammerhead Shark in this movie.

Also, Amber Heard uses red wine as wine knives.

This film is quite hard to rate. It's silly, outlandish, ridiculous... and that is to it's credit. It's fun, and I actually thought the first 45 minutes were very good. However, after this point the movie is tonally all over the place. It's almost as if James Wan didn't know what kind of movie he wanted to make, and didn't care. A lot of the comedy feels forced and falls flat, and the movie is about 20 minutes too long.

I found Jason Momoa's 'Aquabro' character to be very grating and downright infuriating in last years' abysmal 'Justice League', however I found him to be quite endearing in this. There were elements of 'Aquabro' here ("This is BADAAAZZZZ!!!"), but it definitely felt like they were aware of the criticism of his personality in 'JL' and turned it down a notch.

Patrick Wilson was a good villain, although he looks EXACTLY like Aquaman from the comics in this movie.

Rupert Gregson-Williams' score is brilliant, and would have felt right at home in a 'Blade Runner' or 'Tron' movie.

Overall, 'Aquaman' starts well, has a mess of a middle, and then has a solid final 15 minutes. It is the second best movie of the DCEU after 'Wonder Woman', but the bar is low.

It sounds like that film is to you what Incredibes 2 was to me. :lol

My biggest issue with Ralph 2 is that there was no main "villain". Sure, there was the insecurity virus-thing, but we've seen the "heroes fight a big monster made of a bunch of little monsters" cliche done a million times before and that thing was just doing what it was programmed to do.

The whole third act in general was just too silly and cliched no matter who the real "villain" even was. I mainly gave it extra points because I loved The First Avenger reference during the Groot Q&A. :lol

And when I say it wasn't bad, I just mean that it wasn't a total dumpster fire like The Emoji Movie which is what I expected based on trailers.

Mile 22 - 3 out of 10: Ugh. What could've been a fun action movie is ruined by A-hole characters that I hated and TERRIBLE EDITING! The movie was thrown into a lawnmower and pieced back together. You can't tell what the hell is going on half the time.

Mission Impossible: Fallout - 8 out of 10: Another great MI sequel. Some fun and exciting action and stunts. The story was interesting and the writing, directing, editing, and acting was really good. What I didn't like was a predictable twist in the story and one again, it was an all Ethan Hunt centered story. The team was there and had plenty to do, but I wish they would center MI movies more around the team and less about Ethan Hunt.

Equalizer 2 - 8 out of 10: A great followup to the original remake. They managed to recreate much of what made the first one fun and unique while at the same time made it fresh, more intense, larger scale, and have growth for Robert McCall. Great writing, direction, editing, acting and action. Loved the final battle sequence.

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse 10/10

I heard the hype and thought it was pure hyperbole. An animated film THAT good?

Saw it yesterday by myself and I am glad that I did because I man-sniffled once, almost twice. This film not only breaks the boundary of just telling a comic book story as a cartoon, it feels like a living, breathing comic book story come to life on the screen. All the heart, all the character development offered in the best stories from comics brought to life by a medium that was utilized in a way never seen before. Sorry if that sounds pretentious, but it truly felt like a next step for animation telling these types of stories.

Not going to say anymore because as someone who is an artist and gets excited when I see something completely new and exciting, I'm going to sound like a douche. But honestly I can not recommend seeing this on the biggest screen you can and I hope you appreciate this beautiful film as much as I did. If they continue this Spider-Verse, there is seriously no story that could not be told. It opens the canvas to bring the best stories available and present them in a new way. If Sony continues this series I'll never complain about Spider-Man 3 and Amazing 2 ever again.

Venom - 7 out of 10: A fun and well made comic book movie that's mostly faithful to the comics. The writing, directing, and editing was good but nothing spectacular. The acting and special effects were great. The largest problem with this is the lack of Spider-Man, the shi-y music, and some of the dialogue was a turd in the wind, still a thousand times better than Spider-Man 3. Loved the reveal in the credits (perfect casting) and I'm looking forward to a sequel hopefully that will tie into Holland's Spidey and the MCU proper, which I don't see any reason why hey couldn't.

One note, the special featurettes suck. No McFarlaine and far too much of Kevin Smith and the producers. Smith was especially cringy in the features.

Funny, I just watched Bird Box last night. I'd give it a similar rating but absolutely LOVED

that we seemingly got a mainstream horror film that was 100% Lovecraftian, complete with implied giant and tentacled creatures (if Gary's illustrations were to be believed) that instantly make you insane just by looking at them, unless you're already insane of course.

Pretty freaking awesome that they went that route IMO. *So* much better than the ridiculous "Happening" by M. Night Shyamalan.

You and I totally agree sir. Bird Box may not be for everyone and it is far from perfect but it is absolutely a gem of of that author's horror and for that alone it deserves to be admired. Hell, it maybe the only 100% Hollywood film in recent memory to ever to stand as a love letter to the author himself.

Personally wasn't too crazy about bird box, I wish they had gone a bit more lovecraftian. I guess because it was Lovecraftesque, made me want to see the creatures even more.

Also, I felt like too much time focused on the time in the house, whereas I was much more interested in the journey, which was too short, given how difficult it should have been due to the inability to use their sight.

I felt like this movie wouldn't have been made if not for the success of A Quiet Place.

Excalibur- 8.5 - 9/10

Watched it again after many years, and while it's not perfect, it's really, really great.

Some parts feel dated and cheap, while others are just timeless and epic. The scene where Arthur is knighted in the water by the battlements is incredibly powerful, and there's part of me that wonders if the Arthurian Legend could be handled so well by a modern filmmaker.

I'd love to see a proper 4K disc of this.

“The Happening” done right I suppose. It was good, but it’s one of those movies that you will never watch more than once.

Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay: 7/10

Extremely brutal movie! The novelty of some of the deaths may actually push my grade up a bit. Bronze Tiger is one of those C-list comic characters that you never expect to see treated with much respect in various media, but he was done really well. The respect that the other Squad members had toward him felt legitimate. The deal with Reverse Flash was also a pretty cool twist. I always liked Deadshot, and am glad DC is making him a second tier hero worthy of some attention. His semi-heroic personality is a bit tough to jibe with the fact that he coldly murders countless people though, some of whom are just military-types doing their jobs. But it works well enough. I guess Deadshot is DC's answer to the Punisher in some ways (since Wild Dog is never going to get much attention).

Aquaman - 7/10

Many reviews on here were spot on, the movie is very cheesy, poorly written with some particularly bad acting by certain characters...

BUT...

The visuals and action sequences make up for many of the detriments. Can't make up for everything, but when I came home I ordered the 3D disc because the effects/ visuals are spectacular.

I feel like the filmmakers are either very lazy or think their audience is stupid. Often times the character(s) walk into a place, remind the audience why they are there and then within 3 seconds there is a visual/ physical representation of what they just said, even if they had already set this thing up earlier on.

I also thought it was funny that every time there was a quiet moment, it was hastily interrupted by an explosion that introduced the bad guys. This happened over and over in the film, and by the 3rd time my wife and I were joking about it.

Also, every minute detail in the film was utterly predictable, I won't go into details cause I don't feel like doing mobile spoilers, but there wasn't a single surprise anywhere to be had.

Still, as bad as it was, I enjoyed it, warts and all.

Captain America: Winter Soldier 9/10

I am going back and rewatching the MCU films and OH MY GOD I forgot what a meticulously crafted film this was! With the somewhat bloated films coming out now in the MCU, WS reminded me that the best films are the character driven stories where our hero is driven by doing the right thing even when their support system shatters and everything they believed is turned upside down.
Captain America is my favorite MCU hero and this film was the beginning of that realization for me.

Given that that's something I was really hoping for I find it a happy complaint. As soon as I heard they were bringing back Drago I thought it was a great idea and an opportunity to make him human in a way that could even retroactively enhance Rocky IV.

I said to my friend after the film it would have been cool to have told this same story from Drago and his son's point of view and have Creed and Rocky be the Glorified cameo. They would never do that of course but it would have been cool. What they did do was great though.

I don't know if anything can save Rocky IV for me. Perhaps if they redo the score and put Bill Conti's music back in.

Yes Rocky's scenes were definitely more supporting than usual (including the first Creed) and I too was more into the Creed/Drago Jr. and Ivan/Drago Jr. scenes as well, but holy hell did I freaking *love* those two latter dynamics.

And when

Drago threw in the towel to save his boy I about damn near lost it, lol.

Freaking *fantastic* old-fashioned feel good filmmaking. Thank God I caught this one before it was gone from theaters for good.

Also despite Rocky IV being the most cheesy and superhero-ish of the series compared to the Oscar caliber first two it's still always been my favorite. So Creed II being so connected to that film really went a long way for me.

I loved Rocky IV when I first saw it.. But it aged bad quickly... Its almost all music videos :lol

Like I said though I think if Bill Conti's music was in it.. Oh boy would I like it a lot more.

I think that part of the reason I love IV is *because* it has aged badly, lol. I'm always right back in 1985 whenever I catch a scene here or there while channel surfing (and can easily leave the whole thing on as a background movie.)

Hell I think it had two or three *back to back* montages at one point. One cheesy 80's "power ballad" song would end and then they'd just segue right into another one. :lol

Yep, totally agree about them running together at the end. Great stuff indeed.

Predators - 6.5/10

I expect many people will find this a better film after the laughable tripe The Predator ended up being.

Pretty cool way to open the film with Adrien Brody's character waking up in the middle of an involuntary skydive. Overall I found him to be a good protagonist although I know that opinions to the contrary are available.

Jokes were minimal, the film goes more for tension and thrills but doesn't reach the heights of P1 - perhaps through no particular fault of its own - just that Predators were by now a well known monster much like the Xenomorph from the Alien films. I don't think it's possible for these creatures to be truly frightening anymore no matter what violence you depict.

I dunno why Shane Black went for the bigger badder Predator VS regular Predator in his film when it had already been done in Nimrod Antal's Predators. The alliance between Royce and the Classic Predator I guess kinda works in context. CP had been chained up and humiliated by the Super Predators and Royce offered him an opportunity to avenge himself. It wasn't necessarily that they became best buds but CP sure as **** wanted to kill Berserker which happened to be something that would aid Royce. Of course, he fails to do so and is ultimately killed by the Berserker who takes off his mask to reveal

441991

Anyway, with 2 characters left alive on an alien world I might have been interested enough to see what became of them but it was not to be. As ever with these franchises each new sequel ignores all but the most highly regarded films and purports to be the next 'real' continuation...until it too fails to impress audiences and they rererereboot again.
